Tina and her friends were watching from some distance as Phidelia and her friends parted ways. This was her chance to get back at Phidelia, she thought to herself with a mischievous smirk pasted on her face. Rowan and herself have been family friends for a while now with her having the hope that he will one day fall in love with her. Though he pretends not to know her at school, she still had that hope but then, Phidelia appeared from no where; posing as a threat.
To make matters worse, She stood up against her on her very first day in the school when she had wanted to bully Claire. That might have seemed like a joke to Phidelia but to her it was a great deal. Not to even talk of Rowan's threat to forever break any friendship with her if she kept pestering her. So she thought of a way to make Phidelia distance herself from Rowan. She stared at Phidelia's back as turned the corner to the washroom with so much hatred boiling in her heart. "Are you girls ready?" SheThe knob turned once again, with an effortless attempt for the door to creak open at any point in time. They waited with bated breathe, the rate of their heart beat increased to more than usual as anxiety took the best of them. All they could wish for at that point was some supernatural powers to disappear or make themselves invisible to the impending danger which was about to explode before their eyes.Suddenly, they heard a voice called out Claire's name from behind the door, making the knob suddenly stop."Claire," the voice uttered once again as it drew a bit closer to the door. "Mrs. Park wants to see you in the staff room." The voice added."Really?" Claire's voice was skeptical. "Did she say why?" They heard her questioned whoever the informant was as their voices started to move away from the door, heading towards the staffs' common room. They instinctively sighed in relief, "That was a close one." Roxy commented. "We better get out of her now be
Rio had been sitting beside Phidel on the infirmary bed for the past hour and half now with her still unconscious. She kept glancing at her worriedly and confused of the whole situation."What really happened to her Rio?" Mina, the school nurse queried as she walked over to the bed, checking Phidel's pulse."I'm confused myself here Miss Mina. She was perfectly okay when we left the house to school this morning. Even Cora and Luna can bear me witness as we had series of assignments to work on together for our project. We were moving to the library to complete it when this happened." Rio explained.Miss Mina stared at Phidel thoughtfully and sighed. "I see nothing wrong with her Rio. Has she been going through any stress or something?""Not that I know Miss..."She replied. They were still with their thoughts, figuring out what could have caused her unconsciousness when Rio glanced at Phidel's face once again and was surprised to see it drenched with tears. "He
Phidel hurried down the alley to the main streets deeply confused. Nothing like that sort has ever happened to her. Everything looked like a transe but felt so real. Feeling her soul being pulled forcefully out of her was nerve breaking and deranging. Nothing could be compared to the dilemma that she was left in.All she wanted to do at that moment was to see her sister or hear her voice as usual. Besides that, she had to get to her mother's work place first.She walked into the busy streets with her mind occupied with ranging thoughts and almost got ran over by a cab. "Hey! Watch it!" The driver shouted, bringing her back to reality.She deftly glanced around only to find herself almost in the middle of the street, walking leisurely on the zebra crossing. She didn't even notice when she got there. "Oh my God." She grumbled, minding her steps as she found her way through the moving cars to the other side of the road."You should be careful when crossing t
The ride home was quiet and gloomy with Phidel's doleful and brooding look. Jerome kept staring at her all along, quite anxious to know what was running through her mind but she wouldn't say anything, not until they get home.It was around 4:45pm when the cab finally pulled up in front of their apartment. Phidel was the first to glide out of the car, followed by her mother. Sauntering into the house, Jerome rushed to the kitchen for a glass of water whiles Phidel slammed herself onto the sofa, tossing her bag to her left. The house was empty since they were mostly the ones to get home first. "Would you care for some water?" Jerome questioned as she turned the corner to the kitchen."No mum–" She replied, resting her back on the sofa as she stared heavenward like she could see through the ceiling. "Phidel–, Phidel–" a voice uttered softly, making her jerked up. She swiftly lurked around but saw no one. Just then, her mother walked in. The sight of her wi
Seconds turned to minutes and minutes turned to hours but they still couldn't get to Phidelia. All efforts seemed fruitless. Emma was by now shaken up with panic. There was no way she could keep her head straight. She felt the pit of stomach fell as anxiety swirled around her. "Still can't get her?" She stuttered with an almost broken voice."No mum." Isla replied, still scanning through her phone with all hopes disintegrated. "I'm not getting any of her lines." Disappointment sagged through her as she tried effortlessly to get through to Phidelia. Several more minutes past but to no avail. They were still looming in agitation when they heard the knob of the door turned. Both the swaying of the door and the turning of their heads synchronized in motion, making Martin halt at the door for a moment with everybody's gaze fixed on him.Instantly, he noticed disappointment swept up their faces as they turned away. The atmosphere felt quite dense too. "Hey," He s
Bella and Roxy have been waiting for like forever in the cold midnight breeze at their hideout in front of the school for Tina but there seemed to be no sign of her yet. The weather outside was so cold and the little creepy noises accompanying it sent chills and shivers down their spin."Do you think she has billed on us?" Bella asked, lurking around.Roxy who was staring into space took a quick glance at Bella and slightly shook her head. "You're totally unbelievable. Why will she do that?" She asked while turning back to where she initially had her gaze."Think about it." Bella said while leaning over Roxy's shoulders. "She might want us take the fall alone. She wouldn't want to drag the name of her family in the mud." She added and Roxy scoffed. The two were still disagreeing on things when they felt a cold hand touch them from behind. This made them almost jumped out of their skin as they turned to face the intruder."Tina–" They both exclaimed, froze
After about 2hours of struggling in her dream, Phidel finally jerked up from her sleep, soaked in sweat. She swiftly lurked around then to the clock just beside her bed. Luckily enough, she wasn't the type that usually goes to sleep with all lights off. Checking from her clock, it was still not yet time to get off bed so she rested her back on the wall, supporting it with her pillow whiles she reflected on her ordeal.She tried to put one and two together to solve this weird mystery of a nightmare but nothing was really adding up. "Could this really be about Phidelia?" She grumbled mentally to herself. "But why has Auntie Emma not called yet?" She said and without another thought, reached for her phone which was on the mini drawer beside her bed.She turned on the screen to see if she had missed any call but there was nothing. She went on, scrolling through her call logs to see if her mother might have by any chance answered a call from her but there was nothing like that.
Tina massaged her temples as her mind raced to the possibilities of what might happen if they get got. Thinking on what to do, she instinctively rocked from side to side with her arms crossed around her chest, slightly biting on her nails.Bella was about throwing one of her tantrums when Tina held out her hand, stopping her mid way while she paused for some seconds as a thought clicked.“I think I have an idea.” She suddenly uttered, lifting her eyes to Bella and Roxy. “Follow me.” She added without any explanation and hurried off.Roxy and Bella glanced at each other with furrowed brows and shrugged as they went after Tina. They tried to find out from Tina what her plans were as they caught up with her on the corridor which served as a link to almost every block in the school but she just wouldn't say anything.“What are you up to Tina?” Roxy questioned, trying to be a bit persistent. Just then, Tina abruptly came to a halt
“I am not the person you're looking for,” Those are the only words Phidel uttered– leaving Rowan more puzzled than before as she dashed off. “If she isn't then who is she and where is the one he is looking for? How are they related ?” Rowan pondered. For goodness sake, he needed clarity which for some reason~ he wasn't, getting. “Phidelia!” he called, rushing after her. Phidel on the other hand hassled down the hallways in her possible best to escape Rowan. She knew she would have to open up to him one day but it was not today. What made her even say what she said? “You're so stupid Phidel,” she mumbled– looking out for Rowan as she hurried the stairs to the main hall. “You should think before you speak.” she huffed. “Phidel!” At that moment, a voice called out to her. Intuitively, she lurked around with a panicked stricken look. For some reason the voice was familiar but that was none of her cousins. Instantly, her gaze settled on a figure approaching a few steps ahead of
“Is it true?” Isla’s voice hit Phidel before whatever she had thought of escaped her lips. Deftly, her gaze went to the former, totally taken aback and puzzled at the same time. “Do you see things we don't?” She quickly added.Phidel who was by herself lost for words; stared at the anxious and curious gazes fixed on her. “Are you going to tell them?” Phidelia slightly nudged her on the shoulder in a whisper as if they could hear– the whole atmosphere tensed up just by their gazes.Truth be said, Phidel had no problem letting the cat out of the bag but then her problem was her cousins; how were they going to take it? Were they going to believe her or just see her as some weird kid as she had always been referred to in her former school. These thoughts raced through her mind as the feeling of standing at crossed roads surged through her.Phidel intently stared at her sister– clearly hearing what was going through her mind. Has she been having this ability for a while? How come she never
Seated in the bus as it rode through the familiar streets, Phidel couldn't help her anxiety– her mind just refused to stay calm. It was like the whole universe was suddenly coming down on her. “Am I busted? Is this how it ends? Did I fail in bringing my sister’s murders to book? Did I fail her the justice she deserves?” This and more questions took turns in her mind as she remained restless. There was no way she was ready to give up, not when she had come this far. “....I need to do something, I’m easily not going to back out.” she said with some degree of certainty– thinking of a plan ‘B’ just in case her anticipation turned out to be right.Phidelia on the other hand, just stayed by her side– casting glances at her at every passing minute. It felt as though she didn't know her sister anymore. If she could wish for something at that moment, it would’ve been for the ability to read her sister's mind just to know what’s running on in there.Nevertheless, the former has also refused to
It was around 4 pm when the cab pulled over in front of the gates of WESLEY HIGH. Just on gliding out of the car, the sound of the bell rang through every corner of the school– announcing the end of classes for the day.Phildel briefly cast the driver a gaze then sauntered off into the school while the cab sped off. As things were, the former had barely spent about 2hours in the school. Scampering into the hallway, she navigated her way towards her class while the others filed into the hallways in groups– with everyone headed towards their various paths. Leaving the entire school in such a rumpus.Just when Phidel was about to curve into the classroom, Claire noticed her. Without hesitation, she dashed off to her.“Hey, where’ve you been?” she questioned which had Phidel cast a glance at her before walking through the door.Claire who wasn’t ready for Tina's trouble lurked into the class for any sign of her before fol
Hurrying through the field with literally no idea of being followed, Tina made her way to a deserted part of the park which was slightly into the woods– carefully watching her steps at every step she took. The atmosphere alone sends that creepy vibes down ones’ spine– the quietness that engulf the area was like that of a cemetery. Phidel on the other hand, followed as quietly as possible– keeping her distance so as not to get noticed.Though she could see every movement and demeanor of the former; the distance between them was vast– giving her enough room to sneak into hiding whenever Tina tried looking out for any stalker. With a successful close-up watch on the latter, she finally got to her destination– making Phidel swiftly sneak behind one of the trees as quietly as possible as Tina glanced back once again.When she was sure she was alone, she knelt beneath one of the trees which she had inscribed an indication on&nd
Lifting her gaze up as she swept away the strand of hair that had escaped from its hold, Tina’s brows intuitively furrowed– meeting eyes on with that familiar gaze. “You?” She muttered, instantly springing to her feet as she snatched the book from him in the process– her displeasure written all over her face. As if on an impulse, she scoffed– rolling her eyes in motion as she tilted her head away then back to the intruder whom she seem really pissed with. “Are you stalking me or something?” She inquired but then as if in realization, she paused for a moment~ narrowing her gaze towards the latter as if she could read through him. “Don’t tell me my Dad paid you for this.”“Hey, hey, wait a moment.” Ethen briefly chuckled, not sure what she meant by that. “What did you mean by paid for this?” He snapped in, his words fading with the smiles in the process. “Let’s first get this right– you bumped into me, not the other way round. Isn’t this the point where you thank me rather?” He added w
It had already been 20mins since Tina took her seat beside her friends but had barely said anything. Her mind seemed to be afar though there was so much rumpus in the hall. The look on her face screamed there was something on her mind but neither of her friends could lay hands on what it was– and neither was she opening up.“Hey,” Roxy nudged her arm, drawing the former’s attention to herself. “Are you okay? You’ve been spacing out since you took your seat.” She asked with creased brows– her concern evident on her face,. Meanwhile, Bella gazed skeptically at Tina as she filled her mouth with a bite of sandwich not sure what was on the former’s mind either.Staring into the latter eyes, the only thing that came to Tina’s mind was Phidel’s words. Should she tell her friend or not? A voice rang in her head but then, she shove it off inwardly– knowing it was not going to solve matters in an
Not long had the words escaped Phildelia's lips that they noticed the security personnel staggered out of the control room in quite a haste given– the fact that he was the only one available at the said time since his coworker was yet to arrive. Though he shouldn't have left his post, he had no other choice as it was very urgent.The two, on the other hand, saw this as a great opportunity– to put it right; an answered prayer. Watching as he turned the corner of the other hallway, they bulged out from their hideout as they scampered to their targeted spot as quietly as possible.Getting to the door, Phidel slowly pushed it open– popping her head in the first while Phidelia stayed glued behind her on the lookout for anybody at all. When the former was sure there was nobody inside, she hobbled in with the latter directly behind her.With a swift scan of the room– checking out for any hidden cams, Phidelia sauntered over to the fixed comput
Time was fast running but Tina had no intention whatsoever in going to school. All she wanted to do at the moment was to vanish with the breeze which was just as absurd as it sounded. She strolled along the pavement; lost in her own thoughts of dejection. Inwardly, she felt bitterness surged through her at every past memory that flashed her mind as she fought back her tears. She was really miffed at herself and whatever was going in her life.“They were the main reason she was like this but they don’t seem to get it;” Her inner voice echoed. Just thinking about it alone made her stomach churned with hatred.After what seemed like an endless walk, she finally got to the bus stop. She settled on one of the seats under the waiting shade– staring down at her feet. Not long, the first bus pulled by but she was least interested in getting on board. She remained glued in her seat, drowning in her grief– the sense of numbness infused her body
